I guess nobody here tried it yet,here is a review;
This is my current go-to tobacco. It comes is a 100g tin, to the high price on the back belies the actual value that you are getting with this.
It smells like fresh black raisins in the tin, and may be a bit moist on the first day you open it - but only a little.
It lights easily and yields a first impression of mellow Virginia off set by a peppery low note of Louisiana's cool wet dirt as the Perique has its say. The subtle influence of the orientals defines this as a superlative and complex smoke that keeps me coming back for more.
It is another of those tobaccos that has its finest moments near the end of the bowl where the perique's rich flavor descends into cigar-like depths which are tied by the medium body of virginia and the ashy crisp edge of the burley into a singular experience where that pipe smoker's moment of transcendence occurs. This moment is sustained over the last 15 minutes of the bowl until you discover with sadness that your pipe is done. It leaves you like the sound of a freight train long in passing and having now passed - your head swims for the absence of a sound you had forgotten was there.
I really enjoy this one and would love to find more in this range. I am reminded of my old forgotten favorite - King Fisher.
